Welcome to our henhouse and happy new year.

Happy new year.

This is Jasmine Singer.

This is Marianne Sullivan.

And this week, this is Mary Ann Sullivan.

If you spoke like that in real life, I would stop doing the podcast immediately and we would

use all of our listeners. It wouldn't be a problem because nobody would listen. So this week,

it's just us. And that's exciting because every so often we devote an episode to our two favorite

people, which is us. And you said it was exciting too. We're so thrilling. We call this the hen report, but do you want to know something funny? Apparently you were talking to Moore yesterday. And she was like, what are you doing today? And you said preparing and then you said for the Henryry port but she kept hearing henry port

henry port and she was like are you interviewing someone who's henry who's henry port anyway

so our guest is henry port and he's really a mover and a shaker but during our hen report we try we try to get, you know, like up to date, more or less on the news, which is, you know, good, but usually bad. It's serious. Sometimes it's frivolous. It was, I'll tell you, it was a little bit of an effort that had to be made to not make this, like, overwhelmingly depressing. Well, I appreciate it. I mean, it's New Year's. I don't want to like, you know, get everybody down. But, you know, it's a tough world out there. Every week you get people down. I mean, we used to call, we used to call ourselves indefatigably positive and then one day we stopped calling ourselves that, I think. Oh, I'm sorry. I think we do our best.

Sure.

That's week.

Well, all right, this is the last episode of 2024.

How do you feel about 2024 ending?

I'm a little nervous about 2025.

I'm going to be honest.

Why would you say that?

No, kidding.

Don't go on and on.

Well, I was thinking, you know, there is a slogan that is look back, but don't stare.

And with that in mind, let's chat a little bit about our henhouse in the past year.
